This is a place to discuss all things related to carrying the risk of passing a genetic disorder onto their children. We discuss all options from IVF/PGD to sperm/egg/embryo donors to trying to conceive naturally. Some of us decide to Terminate for Medical Reasons (TFMR), others plan to carry the pregnancy to term. Some of us carry terminal illness, others carry conditions that cause minor to major disability. No matter what your story, you are welcome here and you will NOT be judged regardless of your decision.
